Record Creation Context

This item was viewed at PMAE in a small upstairs room that had low light levels with limited time and access to electricity. This resulted in poor image quality on photographs and short, hand written notes. Information for this item was generated during on site examination of the researchers, Alan Corbiere, David Penny, and Cory Willmott.

Record Creation Notes/Observations

Cory Willmott, Alan Corbiere, Adrianna Grecci Green and David Penney conducted research on site at the Peabody Museum for Archaeology and Ethnology in July 2007 with help from Susan Haskell and Patricia Capone of the PMAE. Cory Willmott's research was funded by a grant from the American Philosophical Society. Al Corbiere was supported through Ruth Phillips's SSHRC Canada Research Chair Funding. An internal grant from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville provided Cory with an RA, Ceara Horsley, for 2009 and 2010 to work on GRASAC data entry. (CW & CH)
